Reflection about travel to Architecture Tour

I have been in Chicago for six years, but I never travelled to the heart of the city on the Chicago River by ship. On Wednesday afternoon, September, 21, 2011, I finally got the opportunity to take The Chicago River Architecture Tour with my art class’s classmates. Our teacher Ms. Gitte leaded the way and we had a memorable sightseeing trip. The ticket costs $26. We waited in line for the ship which left harbor at 1:30pm. I learnt a lot from the guider on the boat who introduced the history and artists about those art works on sides. It lasts about 75 minutes.
The tour start from the river part near Michigan Ave., and ended in west loop. After that, it made U-turn toward to the Michigan Lake, then to Navy Pier, and then made a U-turn back to a loop. I found that many different buildings which are important for economic development of Chicago. I saw an interesting building which had the shape of a corn. I was impressed by the creativity of those artists who designed and constructed those great artworks.
